Chapter 4
I DON'T OWN KINGDOM KEEPERS.
Amanda's POV…
"Why do I have to stay up? I'm tired!" Willa complained, for the 300th time today.
"It's bad if you have a concussion and you fall asleep. They said sometimes you don't wake up. Don't ask me why, I don't know." I answered.
"Ugh. How much longer till I can go to sleep? I'm obviously doing better than I was!"
"You don't know that."
Just then, Maleficent stormed in. Charlie and Jess stood up and backed up towards us.
"Aww, it looks like the little girl has hit her pretty little head."
"What are you doing here? Leave! If you're going to trap us in here, then leave us alone!" Jess had had it with the OT's. She walked towards Maleficent. "And you know what? I-"
She was cut off as Maleficent grabbed her arm. Jess screamed, as there was a sickening crack as Maleficent broke Jess's arm.
"Jess!" Charlie ran up to Jess, who was now holding her arm and slightly crying.
"You two! You're coming with me!" They both looked up at Maleficent. "Or else."
So, they obeyed. I watched in horror as they walked out of the cell.
Willa started crying hysterically, and I couldn't take it any longer, so I broke down and cried, too.
…..
Charlie's POV…
I walked down the hall, my arm around the crying Jess.
"It's going to be okay," I told her, though I wasn't so sure about that part anymore.
She just held her arm and cried.
"Where are we going?" I asked rudely.
"None of your concern. But I'll tell you this; you won't see your friends for a long while."
"You're splitting us up to make it harder to find us." Jess piped up.
"Smart girl." Maleficent answered.
We walked for a while before they forced us into some kind of car, blindfolded us and drove off.
Maleficent, who was sitting in the passenger's seat, turned around.
"You will do exactly as I say, or else!"
"What, exactly, is 'or else'? You keep saying it, but never tell us what it is!" Jess stated.
I gave her a 'do you want another broken arm' look.
"Let's just say, oh, I don't know, you may be here, but your two friends are still back at your little jail cell. If you did not obey me, we could easily get them from their cell and- oh, I'll let you infer the rest."
Jess glared in defeat. Maleficent smiled.
"Now, here is a cell phone. Call Whitman and tell him everything is just fine, you're home, and you just needed a little break. Now!"
I dialed. I memorized his number, I know, it's pathetic, but…
"Hello?"
"Hi Finn!" Should I risk all of our lives and just tell him where they are? I looked over at Jess, who was slightly nodding. What, could she read minds now?
I took a deep breath... "!" I blurted out as fast as I could, then hung up.
"NO! YOU WILL PAY!" Maleficent screamed. She formed a ball of fire in her hands.
Jess, who had come up with some sort of plan, grabbed my arm, threw the car door open, and dove out, dragging me to my sure death.
We both hit the ground, and rolled a few times on the concrete. I sat up immediately, looking myself over, my jeans were shredded, so was my skin on my arms and legs, and my head was throbbing. I didn't have too bad injuries, considering I just dove out of a car, but I think Jess broke my fall.
Crap! Where's Jess!
I looked around, immediately spotting her lying on the ground next to me, unconscious.
Great! Just great!
To my surprise, Maleficent didn't come back to get us. I watched the car disappear over a hill.
"Jess! Jess, Wake up!" I shook her shoulder, and she opened one eye.
"Is she gone?" Jess asked.
"yeah. She's gone. But do me a favor."
"What?"
"NEXT TIME YOUR GOING TO PUSH ME OUT OF A CAR MOVING 65 MILES AN HOUR, GIVE ME SOME WARNING!" I yelled.
"Hey, I saved us. You're the one who told Finn where we were!"
"You nodded at me, you told me to do it!"
"Stop, fighting isn't going to get us anywhere." Then, she chuckled slightly. "And haven't you learned not to do what I tell you to! Look where it gets us, I have the absolute worst plans, ever!"
I laughed. "Yeah, your plans don't normally work out well. But it got us out of her car. So, where are we?"
"Still on Disney territory, I'm sure."
I looked around, seeing Disney signs, 'that way to AK', and '1.25 miles to MK'. Other than that, it was pretty much a highway with trees on both sides. Then, I realized we were in the middle of the street.
"Yeah, well, we should get out of the middle of the road, huh?" I suggested.
"Yeah..." she started to get up, but before she did, she whimpered in pain and fell back down.
"What's wrong?" I asked, frantically.
"My leg… hurts.." she said, starting to cry. Not good. And worse, I could see a bus a little off down the road coming towards us.
I got up, seeing I had no horrible injuries, and ran over to Jess. "Come on, Jess." I said, picking her up, then half-carrying, half-dragging her off the road.
"I think I broke it." Jess said, poking her leg and wincing.
"Well don't poke it then!" I said, worrying. "what do I do? I don't know how to help someone with a broken leg and arm! It was just dumb luck that Amanda knew how to deal with head injuries! I-"
"Charlene! Stop freaking out! I'll be fine, you'll just have to drag me back to the nearest park!" She looked at the sign "See? Magic kingdom, that way... 1.25 miles. Oh. Wow that's far."
"We better start walking." I sighed. This is going to take a long time.
